June DT Reveal

I had so much fun with the Zinnia paper from MLYB. I can see a few more cards or even a layout or two coming from this still. So it's the 10th already and now we get to show you all our goodies we designed this month. You can check out all the other spectacular stuff from the DT here.

I'll start off with a favorite little thing of mine. I love when I'm able to actually create something I can use as a home decor item. I found this cutesy frame at Michaels on clearance and knew I could do something with it. Voila! This is what I came up with....I'm thinking I've got to get a better picture of this. I swear the camera is not cooperating with me lately...ugh!

Quickutz releases new digital cutter files every couple of weeks and when I saw this oneI knew it would be perfect for these pictures of Marisa and all her silliness.

Then I did this one to savor my last year and actually last month in the 30's. I have hidden journaling in the tags behind the large photo of me. I actually like these photos of myself which is a rarity. Marisa was taking pictures on Mother's Day at the restaurant and she got these. Plus, I think any photo looks better in black and white...lol

Then lastly, this layout was done for my "15 minutes or less" newsletter article this month. I used black cs from my stash as I thought it made the papers just pop.

That's the end of my scrappiness from this week. I felt like doing more, but there's so many other things that need to be done around here. I finally just finished planting flowers in the backyard. I swear the backyard is taking forever to get together this year!

Well, off to prepare for tomorrow's field trip. I'm going with Marisa and her 4th grade class to our state capital -- Lansing. We are taking big motor coaches which should be a nice ride. I couldn't imagine taking a bouncy yellow school bus all the way there. I'd be so sick...lolUntil next time...
